I’m restoring my 1960 Cabriolet and want to be correct on the details. The ’60 cabriolet came w/o fenders. I purchased a great set of ’58 fenders at a swap meet. I’ve come to realized they each have different front turn signal bulb holders and different holes in the fenders. Is there a tech manual that gives the correct hole alignment for the ’60 front turn signal? Or can someone please give me a measurement from top of the the headlight to the first hole OR to the front turn signal (peanut light) on a 1960 Beetle? Much appreciate any help.

Bruce, thank you so much for the reference. I looked for quite a while but was unsuccessful. Exactly what I was looking for. You guys (Volkswagnut included) are great. Can't thank you enough.

Will post a follow up.
